In a discussion with Olympian Tom Daley about fad diets she started by trying to defend a zero-carb eating pattern and said: "I think it has to be ..." before revealing: "I've cut a lot of carbohydrate out of my daily eating.

"That's because I've cut out a lot of processed carbohydrate."

Susanna, 46, then added: "But you do get a lot of carbohydrates from eating your fruit and veg, don't you?

"So as long as you can do it in a way that you don't feel like you're denying yourself something crucial."

Competitive diver Tom, who has launched Tom's Daily Plan, said: "If you cut out carbohydrates then great, you'll get a quick fix, but you can't sustain that.

"It's having things where you're having a balance of things you're eating.

"It's changing your lifestyle, that's what it's all about."

Ahead of her first show back after the Christmas break, Susanna uploaded a shot of her early morning breakfast.

She posted the image of a take-out drink, sliced apple and a cup of peanut butter to her Twitter account, yet her followers were quick to quiz her meal.

One wrote: "What are you dunking your apple in?" while another cheeky fan wrote: "Hope that isn't Piers' stool sample."

Another added: "This looks good, I feel like I'm missing out on something delicious ... what are you dunking your apple into?"

Telly favourite Susanna's new diet has also been put under the spotlight by her co-host Piers Morgan.
